NOTE: This app is intended to be used in conjunction with Paratext and requires a Paratext registration code.
WARNING: uninstalling an Android app will immediately and permanently delete its data. If you have any unsent project data, use Send/Receive before uninstalling.
Key features:
- Compatibility: Paratext Lite is compatible with all current versions of Paratext 8 and 9.
- Portable and low power: Paratext Lite allows users of Paratext 8 to read and edit their project data on an Android tablet. This is useful for comprehension checking and for simple editing comparable to what can be done in Paratext's Basic view.
- Projects and resources can be installed on the device.
- Editing is supported for existing projects only. By default markers cannot be inserted, so only verses and footnotes which already exist can be edited. For more advanced users, marker inserting and editing can be enabled.
- Notes can be browsed, created, assigned, replied to, and resolved.
- Send/Receive is supported via wifi internet connection. The full project data is synced, but Paratext Lite can only display the text and the notes. Some tablet models are able to Send/Receive to a USB drive or SD card; others are not. Projects can also be synced between devices by way of Wifi-Direct, this does not require an internet connection. Local network Send / Receive with Chorus Hub is not supported.
- Points in project history can be created and viewed in a list, but their content cannot, and different points in history cannot be compared.
- Multiple panes allow up to four panes of content to be open at a time. Panes can be temporarily collapsed to make better use of limited screen space. Additionally 3 workspaces allow up to 12 panes of content.
- Text collections, Word lists and Biblical terms.
- Display mode can be toggled between showing up to four panes at once or up to two panes at once (swipe left or right to switch columns).
- Sync scrolling: By default, all text panes shown on screen scroll together when you tap in a verse.
- Searching: "Find" is supported; "Replace" is not.
- Keyboard/mouse: Many users will be much more productive with an external keyboard and possibly a mouse. Bluetooth is one option. Another is a USB OTG cable, a USB hub, and USB keyboard and mouse.
- Limitations: Nearly all other features are only available when running full Paratext on a Windows or Linux computer. This includes checking, progress tracking, research tools, compare versions, and many other important features. Paratext Lite is intended as a companion app to Paratext, not as a replacement.
Android devices vary in how well they support certain features, especially accessing external storage (SD or USB).
With older devices, please ensure to upgrade the "Android System Webview" which you can access from the Google Play Store.
